Kai scissors
#31
I bot my first pair of Kai embroidery scissors for about $15.00 a long time ago. Went to Tuesday Morning store-they had same for $2.99. Bargains happen when and where you least expect them.... I bot some titanium scissors at Hancock's Christmas 2012 - they were a promo. Three different sizes for $7.99..(for the box). they cut like butter. Clerk said that is what they have been using in the store for over a year and haven't sharpened them YET...... Bot several as gifts for my quilty friends.....

I have some good scissors, but will keep a lookout for the Kai or Buckley.

Love mine! I got a pair at the quilt show in Puyallup, Wa last Nov. The pair I choose was to cut my wool applique pieces. I got them on recommendation of my friend.

I'm curious.
I would think (according to what "they" say), that no matter what brand scissors you use, you have to consistently cut from the 'joining spot' all the way to the tip to prevent dulling them.
"They" would be my high school commercial sewing teacher. She preached this and I always try to do it.
Having said that, I went to the site and I see a pair in my future...join to tip, lol!

I have two sets, they are about 35 years old, I love them, My hubby bought them for me, I am so glad he did, they have never been sharpened and they cut beautifully, but I have had to warn my family if they touch them, they could lose their hands. You cannot go wrong if you purchase them.

I got a pair of Kai 7250 scissors at an Estate Sale for $3. I didn't even know what they were. DH sharpened them up on my Fiskars sharpener & they are now my go to scissors, my poor Fiskars are feeling left out.
